A smile
simple
easy to give
costs little
unlimited value
not created equal
as some are cruel
symbol of evil
intent is pain
a child
as smile
cold melts
evil losses
always return them
when given free
nurtures the good
save the dreams
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

somewhere deep below
under the layer of white
lies the hope of renewal
waiting for its chance
we hold dear the promise
given freely to us all
as are whispered reminders
soft like spring breezes
but long is the winter
a chill which has no end
as promises fade away
like a winter sun
and still we wait with hope
holding each promise dear
though we can clearly see
the spring is not approaching
it is time to build scaffolds
raise ladders to the sky
and tear the clouds apart
to make the promise true
until that day arrives
the forecast will remain
winter storm warnings
severe cold advisory in effect
